Thomas's Log
It is appropriate for the type of atmosphere that Zephyr Pub provides.
Draft at Zephyr Pub, Kent
Trivia night at North Water Brewing. There was a question involving the infamous "Hell in a Cell" wrestling match from 1998. Who doesn't remember the Undertaker slamming Mankind through the top of the steel cage!? The other graduate students who weren't born yet... that's who. This is why they bring the old man with them to trivia night.

Experiencing feelings of deep frustration. Sipping a beer that I am not enjoying and a UX that requires more from me than it should. The rate beer process can be better, it will be better. Maltlog 2.0 preview in 2024.
Can at Home
Great Lakes Christmas Ale (2021)
Why do I do this every year? I remember I don't enjoy it. The data indicates that I don't enjoy it. Yet here we are. This beer is a metaphor for online dating.
Bottle at Home
The habanero gives it something altogether unexpected. Sweet on the frontend, but spicy on the backend.

Initially concerned that the Candy Cane flavoring would be a gimmick, and have an overwhelming amount of artificial flavoring. However, they seemed to have been able to achieve a subtle hint of peppermint but remain predominately a traditional milk stout.

It has been far too long since I've had a beer this good.
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Oh Gawd, how long has this bottle been in the Odin fridge? I can't tell if it is suppose taste like this...
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Chemistry defying ability to generate head from small pours.
Bottle tasting at Odin Lounge
Sweet stout which leads with a note of chocolate, but mellows towards the tail end with a more traditional stout flavor.
Nitro Draft at Twin Rivers Brewing Company, Monroe
Full Sail Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Boardhead Barleywine (2009 Reserve)
Actually pretty good, and I usually dislike barley wines.
The bartender claimed adding a slice of lime is called “Northwest Vacation.” I have now learned that I much prefer Rainier directly from a can, rather than on draft.
Draft at Lunchbox Laboratory, Bellevue
Schooner Exact Hoppy the Woodsman Imperial Winter Ale (unknown release)
Hoppy and woody are not compatible flavors.
Bottle tasting at Odin Lounge
This proves once again that the canned version of this beer is far better than the nitro.
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Far too hoppy for a winter ale. I expected a dark porter and received an IPA.
Draft at Red Star Tavern, Portland
It does not taste like what I have come to expect from a Guinness.
Bottle tasting at Odin Lounge
Chocolate and cola flavors. Good carbonation.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Hops without beating over the head with hoppy bitterness.

The goblet was definitely the wrong style of glass to enjoy this beer. I need to try it again with a pub glass. Also one should try to avoid pouring this from a bottle and find it on nitro draft at your local drinking establishment.

Bellevue Brown Ale (2013)
It was free, so it had that going for it.
Draft at Bellevue Brewing Company, Bellevue
The lack of any carbonation prevented any sort of head. Aside from that it was a sweat stout with a strong chocolate flavor.
Bottle at Willowick, Ohio
Disappointing if you're a barrel aged stout devotee.
Bottle at Winking Lizard Tavern, Mentor
Southern Tier Pumking (unknown release)
Much better on draft than in a bottle.
Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
CentruryLink definitely needs to offer a better selection at Sounder games. We're clearly a higher order sports fan, and deserve a quality beer selection.
Draft at CenturyLink Field, Seattle
I knew it was bad, but it was the only thing available.
Draft at CenturyLink Field, Seattle
Possibly the most disappointing entry that I have had to make. A stout that lacked any pleasurable characteristics.
